yep 25/30 is a good option, but even if you want to keep it twin turbo do a 26/30, these see big numbers built and balanced right.im just looking into this atm as im thinking of buying a laurel shell and either engine choice will be the way to go. its all about the coin in the end and how long you dont want the car off the road?

done the same with a gts4 engine piece of cake

take the front cvs off and shafts out simple split pin punch and knock the pins out pull of the cvs

take the top cover off the front diff on the exhaust side of the engine free the front diff centre by grinding away one side or a couple notchs

proceed to grind the sump flush removing the housing the front diff sits in jump on the other side start grinding the bits that stick out which is the cv mount on the intake side this side needs to be grinded pretty close to the side of the sump as it needs to clear the steering knuckle at the bottom of the steering rack you will notice if you have not grinded enough as the sump will sit on the steering rack knuckle pull engine again and grind some more

all up took me about 45mins of grinding and algud bonus is you wont need to move the oil pickup and install a rwd sump

giving you 5.0litres of oil in the sump instead of 4.6 makes a big difference and the alloy sump is finned unlike the rwd crappy steel one

    • I know people cry at the price of the Getrag 12-14k for a conversion now, but it really is a nice mid point. Not going to get change from 10k on a gearset installed.  $30k++ for sequential.   I know you run the risk of a damaged used one and parts are hard to get but as a street car gearbox its really hard to beat. If you enjoy a more traditional manual, its the choice no question.
